70. Aaaaarrrrrrghhhhhh. Respected, peer-referred journals are full of crap science.
Publication in such a journal, even a very respectable one, is merely the match that lights the furnace in which the science will be tested.

Furthermore there are thousands of journals that exist only to meet the needs of "Publish or Perish" university and industry merit systems, and they are often easily influenced by money and politics.

This one smells sketchy before you even open it.
